So, playing along to a track last night. About halfway through the song, I'm playing pretty loud, but I notice the punch, depth and thickness seems to be suddenly missing from my Axe FX III. I stop playing. Shut down the song. I assumed it was some sort of ear fatigue. Which occasionally happens to me after playing really loud for quite a while. (Never sounding as bad as it does currently though) I turn the music back on...that sounds fine. Full & rich, as it should. So, at this point I'm pretty sure it isn't my ears. I turn it [the music] back off and play the guitar again...tone still sounds thin. I try a different guitar. (Went from a Charvel with a JB to a LP Studio with a 498T) Still sounds thin & weak. I'm tired and assume I'm hearing things. Figure I'll deal with it tomorrow (today).
Tonight. Get home from work. Plug in, tune, turn up...it's progressively getting worse. Not quite A.M. radio, but heading that direction. Reverb sounds like it's in a cavern, no matter what type I use. Shut the reverb or other effects off and the amp dry sound sounds awful. Like some $50 multi effects processor from the 90's.
So far, I've tried:
Multiple presets.
Multiple different guitars.
Changing cab IR's.
Bypassing the wireless by using a cable.
Switching from Input 1 to 2 and then back again.
Swapping the FRFR for the one I used to keep at the rehearsal space.
Re-seating and checking all connections.
Finally...resetting the system parameters.
So far, nothing has fixed the issue and it seems to be slowly getting worse. My worry is, I feel like one of the processors may have taken a dump.
Anyone have any ideas or experience something like this? I could swear I recall seeing a similarly titled thread recently, but can't remember the way it was worded. Subsequently, I'm unable to find it. Or...I'm maybe I'm misremembering.
